23 Oct villages are built on the top of the
Highest rocks for Defence in time of war
the village was about a quarter of a mile ar[oun]d
it. The day before our Arival they had their
great Dance which had kept up untill
late and the people were rather stupid
we went on to the top of a 4 story Hous
whare we could take a survey of the surr[oun]ding
country. I found the Men due the spin[nin]g &
a good Deal of the Nitting. There was about to
be a Marriage in the village and all the
Men had gathered into the work shops to
spin cotton works for a pair of Blankets
for the coupple they spun on spindle that
they hold in their hands they raised the
cotton themselves and when the blanket is
wove the pair sleeps under it at night
after Marriage it is then put away & kept
sacred untill they die then each is buried
in their Blanket. the Men were underground
work shops & I could not get them to
come out to hear preaching so I went down
into 2 of their work shops & spoke to them
when they were at work I found this [them]
